July 16 is indeed the correct Apollo 11 launch date, Joe. I share the space-age nostalgia, loved it all as a kid and although it's not really PC I hope we make it to Mars before you and I are pushing up daisies!

ok, that one's news to me--didn't know the Astronauts wrote this tune. Play the Monkees' version too!

This entire show is sheer lunacy so far. I remember the moon landing - a little. My parents sent me to bed they were listening to it on the radio, summer beachhouse no tv. I had to do that sneak-halfway down-the-stairs thing to hear it.

Paul's comment sparks my own memory. I was in camp 40 years ago this week. A small back-and-white TV was set up in the rec hall, and for two hours, we sat there looking at the landing module and listening to chatter we didn't understand. We were sent to bed long before the Small Step took place.

Incidently, I remember hearing news reports later the same summer, about this giant rock concert going on somewhere in upstate NY, closing the Thruway and attracting mud-soaked hordes. Oh, I spent that entire summer on the sidelines of history!

I'm kinda overrated, to be honest. I'm still around after all, and nobody's overawed.

man I was too little to remember any of that stuff. I do remember a Beatles live performance on tv in the late 60's at some point...I wonder if I imagined that.

I love PRatRs!!!

DC Pat, they were televised performing 'all you need is love; in the late 60's ...

Now I distinctly remember the Raiders on "Where the Action Is" every week. There was a VW bug that would pop a wheelie during the intro. Nothing in my youth was cooler.

sorry Dan ... this was pre-taped! He was here a few weeks ago.

Well, the only TV I can recall is the Ed Sullivan show (the later, color one) and some things on Dick Cavett or David Frost. Or maybe Mike Douglas.

Pat, at the risk of overkill (and of making it obvious that I'm bored at my desk right now), here's a still from the Hey Jude vid. Familiar?

my bro says it was just John Lennon doing Come Together solo. That must be it.. sorry for overkill, done.

I know all you need is love was televised live- perhaps not here!
Robyn sounds awesome!

Aha, Pat! I know that one. That was the so-called "One to One Concert" to benefit mental care reform after the Willowbrook scandal. The concert was in summer 1972 and a TV version aired that fall. I was there for both of two shows. The bill also included Sha Na Na, Roberta Flack and Stevie Wonder. Here's a shot of Lennon and the Missus.

I find you very attractive, actually.

Hey! Good choice, Joe!

I really like that garage version of Rapposo's "Moon" but I'm always sorry they left out the bridge, with its thoughtful comment, "There's so many strange places that I'd like to be - but none of them permanently."

Can we get the Bonzo's "Urban Spaceman"?
